Like say Politician A is a somewhat decent politician that’s little bettor or worse then the ones before, but Politician B wants to take away the general people’s rights so that corporations can get richer and richer. Corporations band together to make Politician A look like the spawn of Satan with every thing they ever did put under a microscope and blown out of proportion if not outright fabricated, while everything Politician B does is completely buried and debunked by bribed people who are claimed to be experts in their respective fields. What would that look like? Like what’s an example of a claim and an example of the actual truth behind it?

    Have you ever heard about USA elections? Because it just happened there, no need to imagine things.

    This is questioning in bad faith, and is asked to push a narrative.

    Even if I agree with the narrative, it doesn’t belong here.

    I mean… Just look at the news. We don’t have to imagine it because that is what is going on.

    Newsflash.

    It just happened.

    A bunch of ignorant, gullible fools were led to believe a literal convicted felon and rapist who has openly stated he is anti-worker rights, leading a party with a long history of voting against average Americans was a better option than a successful prosecutor with a doctorate in law, leading a party with a long history of voting in favor of average Americans.

    We don’t need to imagine a “what if humans are stupid and easily misled” scenario. That is the reality we exist in.
